Substitute Reception

Overview
If the printer is jammed or out of supplies, you will still be able to receive fax
messages; any messages coming in will be stored in the machine's memory.
If the "Receive File" indicator is lit, a message has been stored in the memory
using the Substitute Reception feature.
Check the following:

The printer paper may be used up. If so, add paper: see page 181.

The toner may have run out. If so, add toner: see page 184.

The printer paper may have jammed. If so, remove the jam: see page 203.

If there appears to be no problem, somebody may be making copies while a fax
message is coming in.
The messages received into memory will be printed and erased after the machine
has been returned to normal operation.
